After presenting one of their most iconic projects in Nashville ( The RCA Studio A), today we are going to present to you another inspiring retro design project created by the Nashville-based design firm.

This mid-century modern restaurant project, also known as Nashville Underground, features incredible furnishings and lighting designs that capture the essence of the “Honky Tonk Highway”, which is how the Broadway street is known for the local community. Opened in 2017 by two music stars, Joey and Gavin DeGraw, the 1,600-square-foot space is located in one of the most historic buildings in downtown Nashville.

All of the mid-century modern interior design, inspired by country music, was created by Kathy Anderson, founder of the Anderson Design Studio. For this retro restaurant project, the interior designer drew on the craftsmanship expertise of many local artisans, including Ferrin Ironworks to create the metal bar display, custom murals by Michael Cooper, and a neon drum created by Nashville artist Tony Baker.

Kathy’s goal for this music-inspired restaurant project was to preserve some of the historic buildinghistories by incorporating some it into the interior design through some incredible details. “We loved the texture of the old, exposed brick and didn’t want to hide the rawness of the building with the new design”, explained Kathy to the AD Magazine team.
